I loved the first book, Wormwood by D H Nevins, so I was very excited to get my hands on Angel of Shadow, and OMG…if was fabulous…unputdownable. It took D H Nevins five years to write it and it was worth the wait!

The world and characters captured me and I am so eager to get back into the story and find out what Kali will do. In her dystopian world, she has some difficult choices to make.

Her forbidden love for Tiamat…will it sway her decision?

Good and evil. Angels and demons. If you think you know angels…think again. These angels are not ones you want knocking on your door.

Tiamat is Nephilim. They were sent to wipe out humans from Earth in The Cleansing.

But, when Tiamat met Kali, his world shifted. Can an angel disobey? Will he?

Kali is half human, half demon. Tiamat is half human, half angel.

When Kali is faced with death, her Shadow saves her, but at what cost? Is it a friend or foe? Can she control it, or will it control her?

Each character, no matter the size of their role, is a valuable addition to the story. Not all will survive and I was especially saddened by one Nephilim’s death in particular, but I do like that an author is not afraid to kill off a character if they feel it is necessary. Life is not always happy ever after, so why should a novel be?

Tension mounts and war approaches. Nephilim against Nephilim, demon against angel, where does Kali fit in? I am so happy that I have watched Supernatural, the TV show, because it allows me to understand and visualize the world that D H Nevins has created.

I am eagerly anticipating Book III, And After The Shadow, Light by D H Nevins, which will be published in the fall of 2018.

*I received a copy from the author for review. This does not affect my review.*

I read the first one in this series, Wormwood, in December, and loved it, so I was excited for the chance to read this one! I never read angel/demon books, but this one grabbed my attention, and I am so glad I took a chance! While the first one caught my attention, it was this book that made me fall in love with this series! I love Kali and Tiamat's characters and seeing them struggle to survive in a dangerous world. The writing style is masterfully done, and the plot is well written. I am excited to learn there will be another book in this series!

Last night after reading 40% of this novel, I just didn’t see what the excitement over this novel was. I have been seeing this novel pop up on different social media sites and I was excited to get my hands on it when it was released. I found myself reading a variety of short stories, all with different themes but there was nothing memorable about any of them. I have to call it quits, I am throwing in the towel, a DNF novel for me. Obviously, not a book for me.

I'll be putting a post up soon of all the craziness that's been going on with my recent book purchases but these are the most recent ones.

The first came from a local used/antique bookstore that I love to browse. It's been on my list to read for awhile.

The second came from book for sale at my local library. It was ridiculously inexpensive, and I'd been considering it for a bit.

The last book serves as a holder for a series of books on the American Civil War. I've been told these are the definitive books and that all subsequent books draw from this source. While I'm missing at least 2 volumes, I got 6 very hard to find books from a local Antique Mall I didn't even know existed!
